All Antrel Rolle does is do what he is asked to do. Who cares if he likes to talk a little bit? I'll take him on my team any day.

Having said that, it would be great if he could just stick to playing safety this year. He is much better in that Rolle (see what I did there ).

Yeah and it sounds like Jones is having a good camp too. He had some rough times last year, but gotta remember he came in sooner than any of the rookie LBs in a year with no offseason. He's got the physical ability, just needs to smarten up.

The future of our LB core looks like: Jones(SAM)-Herzlich(MIKE)-Williams(WILL) I think. Get Kiwi back to the line when Osi inevitably leaves next year, shed Boley's contract when you can (I love him, but injuries slowly mounting and need to get younger at the position and his contract is too large) and hold on to Blackurn as the workhorse.

Rivers and Paysinger for depth along with some more young guys down the road and I think the LB crew might come around pretty well.

Who knows exactly what our LB situation will look like in the future. All I know is that we have a ton of depth and a good amount of youth. Thats always a good thing. I love Williams, have high hopes for Herzlich, and while I don't love Jones...I am not giving up on him either, and will admit that I see some upside with him.

And of course...its great to have a guy like Blackburn as an insurance policy. He may not be a stud, but he is the glue that holds this LB core together. Having him around...whether as a starter or backup...is paramount.

Our LB core has come a long way in a short amount of time. Kudos to Jerry Reese once again.

I wouldn't mind that LB core at all, but can we get a different SAM?

I like Jones as a depth LB who can play SAM and some MIKE in our big base package.

I think Jacquian Williams will be our best LB for years to come and will be the next ahmad bradshaw, aka the next jewel that Reese found.

Plax was on NFL Sirius this morning and said he's close with a team. They guessed Oakland and Cleveland and he said they were 50% correct. Then went on to rave about the Raiders and how much he wants to play there.

To me Rolle being in the nickel right now is total bs, let all these CB's compete and give them a chance IF your not going to bring in a solid vet. Rolle should be at safety in camp so he can practice his craft and have that solid chemistry.

The biggest problem with our secondary last season wasn't lack of talent.. It was communication and chemistry. Once they got it together look how much better they were, A total different team.

I'm not a coach but c'mon it's ****ing common sense, with moving Rolle all over the place your ****ing that up.
